Not Bad
Like the last review i agree a lot
all in all it was a good movie with a few actors i have seen in other movies in the past. Nice car used in the movie a real classic with out that i would have gave it a 4 out of 10 lol.
OK fight scenes but could have used a little more help with that i feel.
Drugs, guns, bikers and an ex cop OK lets not forget the feds and the town cops paid off by the gang but all in all it was a good movie.
I gave it a 5 out of 10 for a good try maybe steve's next movie will move him into a real actor but so far its been just bit pieces for him.
Rent this movie: Yes Pass on this Movie: No Buy This Movie: No This movie is not worth buying!

You should make sure he's dead.
I'm a big Danny Trejo fan, and he seemed to really have a meaty role in this film. Otherwise, I would have dismissed it as another ex-wrestler grabbing a paycheck for kicking butt. Of course, Serinda Swan also made the time spent watching it worthwhile.
I typically like a good revenge flick, but this one was missing something. It was like, "They killed my wife, and now I am going to do something about it." There wasn't any real passion in Austin's character. Trejo chewed the scenery every time he appeared. This was his best role, but Austin just didn't have the stones - he was cold.
Austin needs to find some John Cena passion.

Repercussions
First things first: If you like brawl fighting, this will be your thing. It also won an award for this fighting, so the stunt people (coordinators) must have done something right. Apart from that the story is nothing special, you've seen it before. But it has a charismatic Steve Austin and a very good Danny Trejo in it. Serinda Swan fills in the beautiful woman in distress department.
Effort is really good, but the story still lacks a punch here and there. It really begs you to suspend your disbelief, especially right before the big finale. Morality might not be the strongest theme in this movie, but it will do the job, if you don't expect much

From B grade to A grade!
Yeah yeah here we go again, another try by Stone Cold Steve Austin trying to be an actor, so far all his films are the forgettable type. But not this one, no way there is a road to the Oscars for this film, but I was entertained and thought the acting was OK, good supporting cast, not bad fighting scenes, and loved that American muscle car.
I sort of felt like I had seen this film before as the story line has been done before in other films, it sort of felt like an early Schwarzenegger 80's action kind film, OK to watch, and good enough for me to say Steve has lost that B grade tag.
I would give it a 7.5, but the great IMDb would only let me pick a 7 or a 8, not good enough for a 8, so 7 is more than a fair score.

Nothing special to see here
Ryan (Steve Austin) is a former cop who turned vigilante after his family is murdered. He's come to town to take on Drayke Salgado (Danny Trejo) and his gang who controls everything. Darcy (Serinda Swan) runs the hotel.
This is a lower budget TV movie made in Canada. They're a dime a dozen nowadays. This one has the interesting combo of Austin and Trejo. Austin plays a bit too wooden. Trejo is his usual bad guy persona. The movie really just suffers from a lack of imagination and action. There isn't much in the way of story. There are some fights, some guns, some explosions, but none of it is that impressive. There's just isn't anything special to recommend in this movie. The closest comes from a minor stage fight between Keith Jardine and Steve Austin. I would pay to see these two do the real thing.
